Re: [DML] catalytic converter removal

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxx>]

There has been a discussion about this before on the DML.

You can get a "test pipe" to replace the converter

or

You can remove the converter and hollow it out and then
put it back on to look stock.

Yes. it will give more torque and horsepower and your
engine and engine bay will run cooler.


The car will also still pass emission tests provided it is
properly maintained because the fuel injection system
is really accurate in controlling air to fuel ratio.

However, whether it is legal to do so depends upon where you live.

Most state exclude cars 25 years and older from emission test.

Illinois is one of those "pain in the ass" states that regulate cars 
forever.
Even California excludes older cars.
